Answer:

To find the real and complex roots of the function f(x) = x^4 + 74x^2 - 567, we can use the quadratic formula to solve for x^2 and then find the square roots of the solutions.

Let's first set y = x^2, then we can rewrite the function as:

f(y) = y^2 + 74y - 567

Using the quadratic formula, we can find the roots of this quadratic equation as:

y = (-74 ± sqrt(74^2 + 4*567))/2y = (-74 ± sqrt(5929))/2y = (-74 ± 77)/2

So, we have two solutions for y:

y1 = -75.5

y2 = 1.5

Now, we can find the square roots of these solutions to get the values of x:

x1 = ±sqrt(-75.5) = ±8.68i

x2 = ±sqrt(1.5) = ±1.22

Therefore, the complex roots of the function are x1 = 8.68i and x2 = -8.68i, and the real roots are x3 = 1.22 and x4 = -1.22
